Description

This app lets you send links to your web browser. It also works with Youtube videos that won't open in mobile devices.

From any application which shares text, choose “share” option. A list of applications which can receive text will be shown, choose PhoneToDesktop. You will see a notification while PhoneToDesktop sends the text. When the text is sucessfully sent, the notification goes away.

To see your sent texts in your desktop or notebook, choose Tasks in Gmail. You can see the list of sent texts under the "PhoneToDesktop" list.

I was looking for a way to send URLs from the phone to the desktop, and this works great. 2 things I wish it had 1) notification number on the chrome extension so you know you have stuff waiting and 2) and option to auto open the url in chrome on the desktop

Great app! Does exactly what it says, easy to set up, no ads and easy interface. It even opens the link in a new tab when you click on it.

The Firefox extension keeps asking me to pick which Google account I want to authenticate with and then closes, doing nothing

kim barker

might work for you does not for me

works like charm

Great Great for sending crypto addressea from mobile wallet. Only thing missing is registering as url receiver for clicking on links on apps that do not support share.

Thank you for your comment. This app should not register as a url receiver for clicking on links: this register is for web browsers, and PhoneToDesktop appearing among browsers may be confusing (especially if the user set it as default).

I cannot get it to work, it just shows me what it does but there is no way of getting it to do it.

Hi. I couldn't understand what you comment said. Would you care to rewrite it?

Doesn't work on Chrome When I try to sign in, I get sent to the website that says the API is the wrong one. After seeing dev's note, I installed it again. Still having problems. Sent report from phone.

Hi, I've uploaded a new version of the Chrome extension, correcting this problem.

Yes, finally! A simple app that's easy to use & does exactly what I needed! I've tried SO MANY other apps that were so complicated & frustrating; I just needed to get some things to my laptop, but they never did! This app is great! It's exactly what it says "Phone to Desktop"....plain & simple!

Handy dandy App works as described, 100% of the time. I use it a lot - mostly when I'm doing research on my phone and want to send a link to my desktop to pick up when I get full-screened. A nice addition would be a notification on the PtD Chrome button that indicates when new links have been added to the PtD queue. Add that, and I would review at 5 stars.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I'm afraid I cannot create this notification. Google limits the number of times PhoneToDesktop can access Tasks service by day.
I'll still look for this kind of improvement on future.

works well Would be nice if you can select text while viewing the Sent Text lists. this would allow you to send links from Gmail task list to your phone, giving bi-directional functionality. Good app!

Doesnt work ? And neither does the chrome extension ? Great shame would of been very handy ! Hi , well it just doesnt work , sent 3 or 4 links from android via your app with share , and on my desktop they dont show up in gmail under tasks , i then installed the desktop chrome extension , and that just endlessly spins trying to sync but never does ?? Thanks for the very speedy reply :)

Hi again. On Gmail, be sure you select the list created by the app, named "PhoneToDesktop". On the extension, use the button "Reset configuration" under "About" screen to authorize with your Google Account.
Please tell me if you got it working :)

Brilliant! Works perfect with the chrome add-in! Thanks guys! Exactly what I needed! Edit: To the developers - I would rate it 7/5 if you could add a function to send text from the chrome app to the phone app!! I really need this function if it would be possible!

Nice and easy. A very useful little function, and a clever way of implementing it. I wish the dev would bring back the auto-send (doesn't launch the app) functionality from previous versions. I liked that.
